Scientific investigations and studies of Police combat cases, have established that sights are not used or may not be able to be used in real close quarters life threat situations. As such, one may not be able to use the Halo sight effectively in such a situation, but it's easier and quicker to use than the sights.

So, if you are a sight shooter and have a gun for self defense, learning how to aim and shoot accurately at close distances without using the sights, and to get comfortable shooting that way, makes sense.

And that could get you into taking the next and logical step of learning a method of threat focused shooting.

You have officially used up any good graces that I will extend to you on this forum. This post takes the cake for being the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life!

Dumber than you shooting with your middle finger!

Dumber than glueing a bent piece of plastic to the slide of your gun!

Dumber than your page after page of endless nonsense website!

You are the only person on the planet that thinks it's a good idea to dig shit out of your neighbor's garbage and glue it to your gun. Everyone who reads one of your posts is instantly dumber. Please Leave this Forum!

Do not post here again!

And by the way. Even the old ladies you borrowed the hair curlers from hate you.

I leave you idiots alone for 5 minutes and I come back and you're all dancing around like a bunch of Kansas City faggotsyou're all a bunch of slack jawed faggots around here, this stuff will make you a sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me!

Why not stop with the slander (your post is proof of that - don't you know, but then...), and address the issue.

What I have noted over the years is that you big huff and puff's, make lot's of noise, but have yet to produce one shred of proof in the form of pics or film or video of Sight shooting ever being used effectively in a CQB situation.

Please big onerous and super macho man, put some up or whimper away.

You got proof, I'll be the first to say "right on dude" but then, I have never seen any.

I usually don't post after a glass or two, but this is like a first run movie if not better, and at home with glass in hand. Any misspelling and drifting off to here or there-in will show that to be the case. (As in your case of the word glueing. You been drinking 2 bro?)

How about you go talk to the thousands of returning COMBAT veterans, who like myself, have never used one of these-here doohickeys, nor have ever needed one, in order to shoot accurately at the bad guys. In fact, you should respond to this fact before you respond to anything else, or anyone else. According to your "information", it's a miracle any of us, and yes that includes myself, ever survived combat, which did include close quarters combat and shooting, without using the "methods" that you are trying to prescribe for shooters.

Also, I have to know: Are you, or are you not, the original Mall Ninja?

Thanks for your service kent, I was one 2, so I'll thank myself, but I was not a combat vet.

My interest is in self defense CQB shooting, not military combat shooting.

Please provide some specifics as to weapons employed, lighting conditions, circumstances, distances, and specifics as to where you on patrol, suprised and etc.. Got any AAR's to support what you say.

In my "a few cups mood", we used to wonder how long we would last if the Russians ever crossed the border which was about 60 klicks away. Not very damn long that's for sure. And with all those stateside AH's having the newest weapons.

Upon reflection years later, the obvious answer is why give them to the enemy who would have them in any event.

Ah, the classic trick of the nutjob. People on the cable news channels do this all the time, the old "cite your sources" in order to disprove that which was never proven in the first place.

You do realize that at the very least, the Special Operations community, to include SEALS, SF, Rangers, Delta, SAS, GSG9, and so on and so forth, has been shooting for years in low light conditions, in combat, without using your so-called "techniques"? It's kind of amazing from your point of view that they haven't all come back dead. The bottomline here is that your information is faulty, and as someone else pointed out, you adjust the facts to fit your perception.

Now, you may not realize this, but they have this cool new thing that can mount on weapons these days called a "laser". The word "laser" itself is an acronym, which stands for "Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation". I'm not going to go into the science of how it works, but the cool thing about the laser is that when it's zeroed to the weapon, even just a little bit, you can pull the trigger as soon as the laser is on the target, and pretty much be guaranteed of a hit. It works so well that some of the bad guys have taken to simply taping laser pointers onto the end of their weapons, on the hand guards. We even have lasers that are infrared, and can only be seen through night vision optics. Night vision is another cool thing which I'm not sure that you're aware of, but I'll explain that one later.

I hope this plonker doesn't turn out to be a Brit like myself. We have a long history of precision made firearms and engineering excellence here. Reliability has always been a standard fixture of U.K manufactured weapons, from the Brown Bess, Lee-Enfield, Vickers to the innovative Welrod ( first made in 1938 still used as late as Gulf War one ). I shot Parker & Hale rifles as a kid they are amazingly accurate.The test of a weapon is it's versatility, the Bren Gun ( LMG ) was used around all conflict zones in WW2 it was still in use ( by then called L4 ) in The Falklands War and was in operational use in Desert Storm. A real weapon ( without the need for any hairdressing ad on's ).

I adore Enfield rifles. The Lee-Enfield was a masterpiece, I think. I read a book about Rorke's Drift during the Zulu war, and the simplicity of the Lee-Enfield seems to have played a large part in the successful defense by the British. I've shot the enfield .303s before, and I've found numerous Enfields when doing searches in Afghanistan. A true weapon that stands the test of time. We found one that was stamped 1864. I don't know if that was the year it was made, but it was still functional, so if it was, it was well made and well cared for.

The troops used Martini-Henry's in the Anglo-Zulu War, they where a main stay of the Victorian army. Some examples where found among Afghan Tribesmen in use as late as the Russian invasion in 1979. A well made, robust gun with a simple action is far more likely to far better than a fancy thing with light's, beam's etc. The Afghan's are also big fans of the Lee-Enfield. The short action and rapid fire combined with low maintainace and solid construction make for a good weapon.

You're right, I mis-remembered. I got my history confused, it was after the Zulu war that the Lee-Enfield entered service, because of it's lighter caliber. I think it was something of a mistake, as I believe the heavy caliber of the Martini-Henry factored a great deal into the success at Rorke's Drift.
